In an effort to improve worker safety and prevent thousands of illnesses each year, USDA announced additional food safety requirements and the new National Poultry Inspection System (NPIS).
Under the modernized rule, poultry companies will have to meet new requirements to control Salmonella and Campylobacter. In addition, the NPIS is an updated science-based inspection system that USDA says will better position food safety inspectors throughout poultry facilities.
